Product Details
The Pythian Games, one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, were held in Delphi every 4 years, 2 years after the Olympiads. These games honored Apollo and the winner was awarded a laurel wreath (the Olympic Games honored Zeus with an olive wreath as the prize for the winner).
The fans in the shawl signify rays of sunshine. The ancient Greeks believed Apollo to be the fod of sun & light. The chain loops represent the many athletes competing eequally in hte various events. The lower border of "laurel tips" represents the laurel wreath given to the winner.
The stitch combinations are named to make it easier to recognize the grouping. Each are carefully explained in the special stitches box on each page they occur.
